No supplemental discipline.
Discuss the hit and possible injury here.

Indeed. but just because it's not malicious doesn't mean it shouldn't be punished. Dangerous is still bad enough.
Anyway... what I can't keep getting past for some reason is the arm... he got the arm and intentionally lifted it. That right there means that even if toews wanted to try to use it to catch himself he was being put in a very bad situation. If it would have been a hit I don't think I'd be having as much problem with it as I do with seeing the intentional action to alter the path of the arm.
Dangerous. Not malicious or dirty.
This is the reason there is a two minute boarding penalty in the NHL.
Maybe, but I think "Intent to Injure" is the hardest thing anyone can prove without the player saying it himself.
Wiz on Seabrook?
(insert peeing joke)
Or anytime Cooke is on the ice.
I think that his intent was obviously to injure a player. He made no play at the puck but rather to upend a player. Wait until the next time that they play. Pay-back will be made in spades.
I see it as he was trying to get better position to get the puck. In my mind, intent to injure would be him not even going for the puck and driving Thoumbz into the boards. That would be something I expect Carcillo to do.
I think the bigger question is why the fuck was Thoumbz on the ice afterwards? I don't care if he is a warrior, and you can't stop me from playing and blah blah blah. Dude, you are the franchise. You are the Captain. You are getting paid 10.5 million by an organization that historically would nver pay a player that much. You are their investment. The Hawks should not have let him take another shift. I don't blame 19 as much as the coaching staff or the doctors.
